[quote dokken]From what I have seen, the average age on cruise ships has to be around 65. With 2500+ passengers on board someone is bound to die from time to time just from natural causes alone. Then throw in the health issues and travel stress which increases the death toll. This is probably somewhat common but usually goes unnoticed unless you have a nearby cabin.I wouldn't be suprised if they start staffing Cardiologist on board in the future.One cruise I was on made an unscheduled 3AM stop at St.Thomas to unload a heart patient.Another cruise I was on had so many elderly People that I thought they were going to have "Lark Races" on the Lido deck!!!!!!!!!
